I woke up with a

but I (C)can taste you on the (F)tip of my (C)tongue.

A lone with out no warn ing,

Last night we were way up, kiss ing in the (F)back of the (C)cab and then you (F)say (C)‘love, ba by, let’s go (G)back to my (Am)flat.’ And when we wake up, nev er had a (F)feel ing like (C)that.

I got a (F)rea son so, (C)man, put that (G)re cord on a (Am)gain.

I don’t wan na hear sad songs a ny more, I on ly want to (C)hear love songs.

I found my heart up in this (G)place to (Am)night, don’t wan na sing mad songs a ny more.

On ly want to (C)sing your song ’cause your (C)song’s got me (G)feel ing like (Am)that.

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love.

I’m in love, I’m in (C)love, I’m in love.

Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love.

Yeah, you know, your song’s got me (G)feel ing like (C)that.

Your Song by Elton John — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Your Song” by Elton John in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 116 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
